Now with the exhaust is different , I didn’t go with Chinese brand like what I’ve got now and FYI I didn’t have that install it was from previous owner , it’s still loud but I don’t like it as it didn’t sit very well.

With genuine Nissan’s exhaust yea it’s good but it’s not loud enough like how I want it.

So I go with HKS , it’s loud enough than the current.


Now questions - do I need to re-tuned the car with the new exhaust ? What about the horse Power , would it impact ?

If it's a cat-back system it won't affect the stock ecu tune. It will have sensors before and after the cat converters so it should just flow more at high revs and sound awesomeness at idle. If the original Nissan system had reactive mufflers at the rear and not straight through you might loose a bit of bottom end torque but gain more power at higher r.p.m. A proven hks product will just bolt on and be mint for what you want (moar top end and moar noisy) unless you've changed the tube size.
Sounds like the bushes are dead! 
I noticed when we went to mighty car mods you had a massive clicking at the front end like cvs on full lock when parking. Won't be anything to do with clunking though.

I would think the upper control arm bushes could be pressed out and replaced from experience. But I've never owned a highly technological beast like your bad boy. On the cars I've owned it would be just do both sides with nolathane's? Red bushes are stiffer and faster.

Josh said the same thing about having the cvs in full lock - and it’s not a safety concerns.

But the sounds bugging me ! Can you help ?

    • SO whats the deal with this issue? I've read a heap of posts from the infinity owners in the US having full engine swaps done under warranty. Most claims are done on earlier cars than 2019 but I'm sure I've come across claims of 2020 models also having this issue. I like the 400r and Q50Red/S but can't fathom dumping close to 50k on a car with terminal issues!!! 
    • The above video is working normally. That is, that's how the right hand indicator should cancel when rotating the wheel left.
    • I noticed that I could see creatures on the moon when I turned my new headlights on. I thought I should check the alignment. It's pretty rudimentary but I just grabbed some dry wall and put it against my tablet and made sure the beam was below the height on the headlights. Ie the beam is at 600mm on my car, I just made it lower than that 7.5m away.  Not the best but it'll do until I can do it properly at the local shops.   
    • As @Duncan said - the bores are most likely to cop it. But anything can and does happen. Rods are cheap. Rods are good. The work to rebuild the motor will be 30x the price of rods. You won't notice it.
    • Yeah car has 110 on the clock. That said the front turbo (that exploded) doesn't seem to be the original, it has a S1 part number but the car is a series 3. Yep, in the cat is where I first found the turbine wheel pieces - a couple decent sized ones, then a whole lot of fragments.  I agree, probably makes sense to upgrade parts that are being replaced. Things like rods would be 'nice' but realistically it seems unlikely they would need replacing. I was hoping that it was a case that they generally f**k up the valves but not the bore, or vice versa. Is it generally the scour damage rather than ceramic bits getting mashed into the piston tops / valves? I tried a search but couldn't find any threads with pics from the guts of a motor that's had this happen.
